Looks like the negative campaigning isn't working!

That's right, expect a new attack ad re: Rev. Wright soon that won't amount to a hill of beans either

Agreed.

Wow, wasn't their "traditional" model showing just a 2 point Obama lead last Thursday? What could possibly have made it jump to 7?

I mean, I'm happy about it, but what does that say about the poll.. perhaps the sample size is too small?

Obama gained slightly while McCain dropped, resulting in the larger margin. Obama has only gone up 2 points since then. McCain lost 3.

Throw the traditional model in the trash.

We already have the early voting numbers and polls of those who voted.

And it's not "traditional"'

Haven't you guys ever been told NOT to put all your eggs in one basket, in this case the Gallup poll?

Tuesday, October 21
Race (Click to Sort) Poll Results Spread

National Rasmussen Reports Obama 50, McCain 46 Obama +4
National Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Obama 50, McCain 42 Obama +8
National Hotline/FD Obama 47, McCain 41 Obama +6
National Gallup (Traditional)* Obama 51, McCain 44 Obama +7
National Gallup (Expanded)* Obama 52, McCain 42 Obama +10
National GWU/Battleground Obama 48, McCain 47 Obama +1

Let's see, rasmussen is unchanged at 4, Zogby is up three from yesterday. Hotline is down 2 from yesterday and from a high of 10. Battleground is 1 down 3 from yesterday and from a high of 13.

Pick a poll. I'm sure we can all find something we like, yes?

I'm not so sure. And pointing out somebody's record and past is not negative campaigning.
